Today has been lovely and quiet. While the tomatoes wait to be planted, everyone rests from a busy week. The spotted kitty is handicapped. She is an early generation Savannah and has a birth defect that affects her back legs. She still manages to get around, though.

Little grasshoppers of different sizes hopped away when I tried to take their portraits.They seemed grateful that I didn’t pursue them. It was early in the morning and the light was dim. I felt grateful to get a couple of photos that weren’t blurred.
